Brett Sokolow: Drunk Sex or Date Rape: Can You Tell the Difference

http://www.ncherm.org/student-program-01.html

"Brett draws on his legal experience to facilitate this interactive jury exercise where the audience "hears" a trial based on a real sexual assault case. During the first 15 minutes of the program, Brett introduces the audience to Todd and Amy, two students involved in a drunken sexual interaction after a party. Audience members learn the facts of the case, knowing that they will play the role of jury, deciding whether Todd sexually assaulted Amy, or that he is not guilty. Once Brett shares the facts of the case, jury members ask questions about the situation and the legal standards. Brett uses the Q&A to help jury members understand blackouts, incapacitation, the legal actual/constructive knowledge standard, the "myth of puking" and how incapacity can invalidate consent."

Charlene Strong: For My Wife

http://formywife.info/

"Addressing a timely and critical issue, for my wife... chronicles the making of an activist for Marriage Equality. Charlene Strong was thrust into the spotlight after the tragic death of her wife, Kate. After facing this loss and the heartless humiliation of hospital and funeral home staff, Charlene decided to take a stand. Her dramatic congressional testimony is credited in passing Washington state's historic Domestic Partnership laws. As Charlene finds her voice to speak out against injustice, her journey takes her across the country, finally meeting with President Barack Obama and securing his commitment to equality for all LGBT Americans."
